Mavric Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 So far Lewis, Sterup and Knevel seem to be near the top at the tackle spots with Lewis really impressing for no longer than he's been with the team. At guard, Moudy is out for the spring with a shoulder injury. Cotton seems to have put in a lot of work in the weight room over the winter and is looking the part. In Moudy's absence, Givens Price has been getting a lot of reps at RG. Mark Pelini is the favorite at C but Ryne Reeves has been getting some work there as well as at G. At today's scrimmage, Pelini and Reeves rotated at C. Lewis and Cotton got a lot of reps on the left side and Price and Sterup manned the right side a lot of the time. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip 31m It's early in the process -- 5 practices into spring drills -- but Alex Lewis looks like he's ready to start. First string all the way Sat. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 A different practice observer thought Reeves might have gotten more reps that Pelini at C. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Givens Price @gprice78 1m Building confidence from the guys I stand next to and fight for and not from my assigned rank! Quote Link to comment

For some reason, I thought that Lewis was going to be a Soph. this year, but he is being listed as a Jr. Any info? Quote Link to comment

For some reason, I thought that Lewis was going to be a Soph. this year, but he is being listed as a Jr. Any info? He was originally a Class of 2010 guy but greyshirted so he didn't enroll until 2011. Thus, his five-year clock started in 2011. He played two years at Colorado (2011 & 2012) then used his redshirt year last year. Quote Link to comment

onlyHskrfaninIL Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Whats going on with Finnin? Is he going the way of the Seisay-bird? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Whats going on with Finnin? Is he going the way of the Seisay-bird? I take it from some of his Tweets that he struggled to get going last year. Not sure if it was being down on the depth chart or just all that he's gone through. He seems to have re-dedicated himself but is probably just behind right now. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan 3m Tommy Armstrong told me the combination of Alex Lewis and Jake Cotton on the left side is "double trouble" and they get "rowdy" on the field Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sounds like Lewis basically has the starting LT spot all but locked up. Probably Sterup and Knevel battling it out on the right side. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm sure Coach Garrison will whip this bunch into a solid O line by the first game based on the job he did last season after all the injuries. He has a lot of talent to work with. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 ESPN CollegeFootball @ESPNCFB 54m Zach Sterup #57 & Ryne Reeves #65 are among those competing for spots on the @Huskers O-line http://es.pn/1fG9wwv pic.twitter.com/mm6uZKylkz Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 From the above article - not sure what this is based on but it seems pretty close: Six practices into this spring, Cotton at left guard and junior Zach Sterup at right tackle appear most entrenched. Price has taken the majority of snaps at right guard, though senior Mike Moudy, out with a shoulder injury this spring, figures to compete for the job in August. At center, senior Mark Pelini and junior Ryne Reeves are splitting time. And at left tackle, Colorado transfer Alex Lewis, a junior who has emerged as a top spring storyline, and redshirt freshman David Knevel, continue to compete. Quote Link to comment

Mitch Sherman, ex-OWH writer, wrote it so I am sure he is writing based in having watched the practices. Quote Link to comment
